Brano's

On our last full day in Cocoa Beach, we experienced a 20 degree change in temperature from the previous day and it was not a day to soak up the sun on the beach.

We chose to have our main meal at lunch today ...

At "Brano's Italian Grill"...a great choice.




We first visited this restaurant on Sunday night with our friends, Susie Q and her hubby who had just returned from a Carribean Cruise ... we enjoyed an evening of good company, delicious tasting food and equally delicious wine!

On our second visit the food was equally as good and delicious!

Msr. Honey chose the Shrimp Scampi  ... A delectable dish served with linguine, fresh basil in a homemade white wine garlic sauce and equally as good as the Osso Buco he had on Sunday.


Msr. Honey was trying to deconstruct the sauce on his shrimp scampi and asked someone he assumed was the owner ...because he seemed to have his eyes and fingers on the pulse of all the activity in restaurant.

He asked this gentleman if he could get the recipe from the chef... that is when we were introduced to and realized that this gentleman was none other than Brano himself, the friendly chef/owner! 

We had a very interesting conversation with Brano who explained he was in early this day to make the sauces and do some schmoozing with the clients.

Brano lived south of Rome before coming to America.

Osso Buco served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes...


Delicious "Tilapia and Shrimp Tuscany" served with fresh tomato and basil, al dente coloured carrots and broccoli, creamy mashed potatoes and a spicy romalade sauce and a crisp salad was my choice and a good one at that!


All entrees are served with yummy garlic rolls!

As a finishing touch, we ordered one slice of key lime pie with two forks perfect for sharing...




You should make "Brano's Italian Grill" a destination when visiting Cocoa Beach, Florida...you won't be  disappointed, the food served is delicious and the atmosphere with soft background music with an Italian ambiance (theme from The Godfather, Volare by Dean Martin, and many more) is the perfect recipe for a pleasant dining experience.
